Review on πŸ”ͺ Efficiently Carve Precise V-Grooves with Amana Tool RC 1045 Insert by Phillip Johnson

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't waste your money

Very disappointed with the money spent. Ridiculously out of spec. The tip of the cutting head is not centered in relation to the body. When shipped it was 0.0225 inches longer. The result is a cut that is 0.045" wider than intended and 0.045" at the bottom of the cut. The best I could get by removing and reinstalling the disc was 0.015 off center. To top it off, the bit's tip broke off while cutting .0313" deep MDF at 180 inches per minute. I've had much better results with a $40 tool. Of course it's not an insertion tool, but I'm willing to spend the extra money to replace the entire bit when it wears out if that means the bit is at least centered.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • Expensive
